You can refer your students to Library References Services over break and shutdown! Read the full content for more details.

Reference services through Drake Memorial Library will be available over break and shutdown, excluding holidays. The 24/7 chat service will always be available. Please refer your students to the Ask a Librarian page as needed.

Chat services are answered by Drake Library’s reference librarians during our open reference hours over break:

  • 10 am - 4 pm Monday - Thursday
  • 10 am - 1 pm on Friday

When the library is closed, chat is monitored by trained library staff in a global academic library cooperative who are equipped to answer any questions.

Students can also request research appointments with our reference librarians if assistance with scholarship and research is needed.
Drake Memorial Library is here for you! If you need anything feel free to stop in. Contact us by emailing, calling, texting, making an appointment or by using Ask Us 24/7 if you need help after hours!
